Strengthening transdisciplinary agroecological research

Agroecology requires a transdisciplinary approach to integrate diverse knowledge systems and perspectives and co-design holistic solutions for addressing complex food system challenges. This project develops and scales a self-evaluation tool for research teams comprising farmer organizations, government agencies, humanitarian organizations, and the private sector. The tool will provide real-time feedback on the level of transdisciplinarity within partnerships and support actors in improving their collaborative approaches. Designed for use at different stages of research projects—before, during, and after—it will enable continuous self-assessment and refinement of teamwork and integration practices.
